Best Set Of My Career, Yes, The Total Opposite
« on: February 04, 2007, 05:22:39 AM »
So, most have you have read the most disappointing series thread I made a few days ago, where I said I felt like I was throwing the ball well enough to shoot 800.

Well, today, for the first time in my career, I shot a sanctioned 800.  804 to be exact.  But to make it all the more sweeter, I had to go front 11 the last game to get it, because I had 505 coming into the last game.

I was on the end pair and was using the MoRich Total Shock & Awe on the left hand lane and the AMF Nighthawk Torque Pearl on the right hand lane.

It feels great!

257 - 248 - 299 = 804

I had someone throw 299/804 at me and my team a yeare or so ago.  It was fun to watch, that's for sure.

Congratulations on finally getting your 800!

I hear that, that was my previous high.  I did that twice in sanctioned competition.

Pretty unconventional.  Throwing up 10, but lofting the ball to the arrows.  Just like my 739 Thursday.  I couldn't get overly hard with it, or it would leave a 10 pin (I think I left one all day, but a few in practice).  It was a great feeling.
